EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique - Jo Wortley

EFT was derived from TFT (Thought field Therapy) by Gary Craig. It is a psychological version of acupressure, incorporating methods from applied kinesiology and ancient Chinese medicine. Such therapies recognise the existence of an inherent energy factor within all of us, which is responsible for our overall health. This is the electrical/energetic blueprint known as the meridian system (please see information below). See www.jowortley.blogspot.comwww.emofree.com for more information

EFT allows the individual to be relieved from emotional pain without having to re-live an experience or event. Improvement is often noticeable within the first session (especially in the case of cravings & addictions), after which your therapist will provide you with “homework” and coping mechanisms. One to three sessions is usually sufficient, although this is not always the case.

How it works

EFT works on the understanding that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system. The energy system can be re-balanced through tapping on the key points of each meridian.

What happens in a session?

The client remains fully clothed and seated. After establishing the issue to be worked upon, a sequence of meridian points (you may know these as acupressure points) on the body, are tapped with the fingertips.
